Solar roadways

Type: Activity
Learning Strategy: Case study
Topic: Light

These revolutionary roads, claim the developers, will remain snow-free, and, at the click of a switch, can be transformed into car parks or even sports pitches. In this activity students consider whether solar roadways are worth funding. They critique claims using reasoning and evidence, and apply what they know about generating electricity in solar cells, to make a decision.

The Solar roadways activity comes from ENGAGE, the EU-wide project from the upd8 team.
